PRESS FREEDOM

Alerts From the Continent

In Equatorial Guinea, Rodrigo Angue Nguema, a journalist working for Agence France-Presse (AFP) and other foreign news agencies, was arrested on 3 November. According to reports, the journalist’s arrest stemmed from an article he wrote for AFP on 29 October about rumours of an attempted military coup in Equatorial Guinea.

In Mozambique, German freelance journalist Fritz Stark was threatened, assaulted and had his equipment confiscated by unknown assailants on 3 November. Stark reportedly was taking photographs of a march of the "Madgermanes", former Mozambican migrant workers in the now-defunct German Democratic Republic (GDR) shortly before the assault.

In Zambia, the privately-owned Omega TV station was closed on 1 November. The police officers who ordered the staff to cease broadcasts, reportedly referred to "orders from above" as the reason for their actions.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Symplice Kalunga wa Kalunga, a journalist and host of the political affairs programme "Nouvelle donne", was arrested on 29 October. According to reports, the journalist was assaulted at the time of arrest, forced into a vehicle and handcuffed before being taken to Prosecutor’s Office. The journalist was released later the same day.

In Zimbabwe, freelance journalists Frank Chikowore and Stanley Karombo were barred from covering proceedings at the nomination courts in the city of Kadoma on 28 October.

In Malawi, six journalists were physically assaulted on 18 October for attempting to take photographs of a scuffle between police and a motorist at a police roadblock.
